=============================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS ASPOCP 2019 12th Workshop on Answer Set Programming and Other Computing Paradigms https://sites.google.com/site/aspocp2019 June 3 or 4, 2019 (LPNMR Workshop)

Affiliated with 15th International Conference on Logic Programming and Nonmonotonic Reasoning, Saint Joseph’s University, Philadelphia, PA (USA) June 4-7, 2019 =============================================================================== AIMS AND SCOPE Since its introduction in the late 1980s, Answer Set Programming (ASP) has been widely applied to various knowledge-intensive tasks and combinatorial search problems. ASP was found to be closely related to SAT, which led to a new method of computing answer sets using SAT solvers and techniques adapted from SAT. This has been a much studied relationship, and is currently extended towards satisfiability modulo theories (SMT). The relationship of ASP to other computing paradigms, such as constraint satisfaction, quantified Boolean formulas (QBF), Constraint Logic Programming (CLP), first-order logic (FOL), and FO(ID) is also the subject of active research. Consequently, new methods of computing answer sets are being developed based on relationships to these formalisms. Furthermore, the practical applications of ASP also foster work on multi-paradigm problem-solving, and in particular language and solver integration. The most prominent examples in this area currently are the integration of ASP with description logics (in the realm of the Semantic Web) and constraint satisfaction (which recently led to the Constraint Answer Set Programming (CASP) research direction). A large body of general results regarding ASP is available and several efficient ASP solvers have been implemented. However, there are still significant challenges in applying ASP to real life applications, and more interest in relating ASP to other computing paradigms is emerging. This workshop will provide opportunities for researchers to identify these challenges and to exchange ideas for overcoming them.

TOPICS Topics of interests include (but are not limited to): - ASP and classical logic formalisms (SAT/FOL/QBF/SMT/DL). - ASP and constraint programming. - ASP and other logic programming paradigms, e.g., FO(ID). - ASP and other nonmonotonic languages, e.g., action languages. - ASP and external means of computation. - ASP and probabilistic reasoning. - ASP and knowledge compilation. - ASP and machine learning. - New methods of computing answer sets using algorithms or systems of other paradigms. - Language extensions to ASP. - ASP and multi-agent systems. - ASP and multi-context systems. - Modularity and ASP. - ASP and argumentation. - Multi-paradigm problem solving involving ASP. - Evaluation and comparison of ASP to other paradigms. - ASP and related paradigms in applications. - Hybridizing ASP with procedural approaches. - Enhanced grounding or beyond grounding. SUBMISSIONS Papers must describe original research and should not exceed 13 pages (excluding references).

Submissions must be written in English, present original research, and be formatted according to Springer’s guidelines and technical instructions available at:

https://www.springer.com/gp/authors-editors/conference-proceedings/conferenc...

Paper submission will be handled electronically by means of the Easychair system. The submission page is available here IMPORTANT DATES (tentative) Abstract submission deadline: March 26, 2019 Paper submission deadline: April 1, 2019 Notification: May 1, 2019 Camera-ready articles due: May 12, 2019 Workshop: June 3 or 4, 2019

PROCEEDINGS Accepted papers will be made available online as inofficial proceedings with Arxiv.org.

A selection of extended and revised versions of accepted papers will appear in a special issue. We are currently negotiating with potential journals. Such papers will go through a second formal selection process to meet the high quality standard of the journal.
